Two Peas in a Pod

Heather had her twins in June (see post below) but I never posted her beautiful belly; I photographed Mama Heather in May.  We had a great time in my studio coming up with various poses to show off her growing belly.  Hard to believe two little peanuts are in there!

Smiling Eyes

Our truck was in the shop so my husband was given a loaner.  Jack didn't quite understand the idea of a loan and was totally displeased with Brad, "Daddy spent ALL his money.  He bought ANOTHER truck!" ~ Jackism #4,263 ;)

Most photographers will tell you that working with kids is challenging...not fun, even.  Kids don't listen; they have short attention spans; they want to play; they get cranky; they cry.... They also happen to be my most favorite subject! 

True, they are the most challenging to photograph, but it's the challenge that makes it so great!  Kids are the most gratifying. When you earn their trust and are able to capture their spirit in a portrait, there is nothing sweeter; it's that special something in their eyes that cannot be duplicated in an adult. 

I had the pleasure of taking portraits of the Ellis family.  For two hours this little guy's eyes smiled.  He was one of the best I've every photographed, especially for a three year old in a 90 minute photoshoot!!  He has model written all over him...

Babies Make Three!

These adorable baby girls are mine...well, in my mind anyway.  Meet my new cousins Ashley and Alicia. LOVE them up!  Nothing better than one newborn, until you have two! Big brother Nathan has his job cut out for him watching over his precious sisters.
